Rofl, like the good old days. Where do i put it?
This crash reminds me of crashes in the past to do with non-F16 aircraft, using the systems of the 16.

any usb port should do…

Yeah, this is going to be a familiar story…
“Hey doc, it hurts when I do THIS!”
“Well, sir, don’t do THAT!”
You tried to jettison weapons from a hardpoint that the MiG21 does not have. The equivalent works fine on the F-16 because all the hardpoints are present but marked empty when there’s nothing loaded so trying to jettison nothing doesn’t crash. Trying to jettison from a plane that simply doesn’t have such a hardpoint…well that’s going to crash each time. It could be fixed but it’s not going to be a priority. At least in the short term the recommendation has to be: stick to jettison for things that the SMS does show populated (corollary thought: expect the unexpected for flying non-F16’s in this dialect of Falcon4 anyway).

No prob. Is there a reason i can’t jett my centreline fuel tank tho?
-
That I don’t know. Probably a non-F16 thing too – the SMS is a very F-16 specific area of the code.

I’ve experienced this recently: CTD when pressing S-J OSB relating to hardpoint exceeding the number associated with an non-F-16 type. With MiG-21 and the only jettisonable store is a fuel tank (AA mission) this is no problem but otherwise is a pain. It’s also annoying not to be able to S-J stores which should be jettisonable. Is it just a simple database edit of which stores can be sel-jettisoned or not and it hasn’t been configured for MiG?
Expanding on this I also got a CTD when ordering wingmen to jettison “stores” via radio message but not every time (in fact I’ve had only one such CTD in Su-7 and several successful radio command jettisons MiG-21).

Interesting. I’m not familliar enough with this file to understand how one would make (or even find) the MiG-21’s centerline fuel tank able to be S-J’d through the SMS page if that’s even possible.

If you look at acdat you will see all mig21s use rack group37 under hardpoint data section. This is for rack.dat file in objects folder. If I were to fix this, I would not use 37 from rack.dat.
I think it would be better to make a new rack definition in bmsrack.dat file and use it. I could set it up to have selectable jettison there. This is a bit of a chore and a lot to write down step by step. I have done it before though and it is possible. This would change your bmsrack.dat file and mig21 acdat files. So online might be issues if you do this. I can make a vid of this being done if you still want to do it.

I’m curious. It would be a JSGME toy for giggles anyway.
So group37 has 3 30 31 45 but that’s as far as I get.
